Deap Vally, JJUU JJUU, Mystic Braves

[VALLEY GIRLS] An obvious product of Los Angeles, Deap Valley has stars in its eyes. The duo bashes out hard rock informed by red lipstick, White Stripes and the blues. Both women are more than able players, though Lindsey Troy’s vocals are of the make-or-break variety. Drummer Julie Edwards is powerful if busy, which works since there’s no bass player. It adds up to a crowd-pleasing formula, and industry moguls are already working to break the band in England.
